RRCs for CPU, DASD, Tape Utilization, and Print Utilization; and provides
for ISSC's agreement to pass through to Zale certain additional cost
savings on selected hardware and software.

1) underscored text is new text added by this Amendment; and
2) text marked with overstrikes is deleted from the base Agreement by this
Amendment; and
